Tuscany Reserve

EIGHT MILE ROAD, NOVI, MI
With the popular appeal of the luxury home market in the Novi/Northville area, the time was right for the European-inspired Tuscany Reserve development. Groundbreaking for Phase I of this exclusive gated new-home community began in 2006. Tuscany Reserve’s timeless beauty, currently in the homebuilding phase, features 58 estate-size homesites and common areas, including a professionally landscaped central park and an active sports park.

Bellagio

BECK ROAD, NOVI, MI BIA “Development of the Year” 2005 Named for a small hillside town in Italy, Bellagio is Oakland County’s premier gated community featuring grand one-of-a-kind homes that originally sold in the $2 million price range. Each home was designed and built with unparalleled style and architectural splendor. We conceptualized an exclusive home community, similar in ambiance and enduring value to the historic Grosse Pointe, Michigan, mansions built in the early 1900s. The Bellagio community includes 55 estate-size homesites on 73 acres and includes a picturesque four-acre central park graced with colorful gardens, walking paths and a classical limestone gazebo.

Woods of Edenderry

SIX MILE ROAD, NORTHVILLE, MI BIA “Development of the Year” 1999 The Woods of Edenderry luxury home community is comprised of 101 spacious homesites on 77 acres with 16 acres of protected woodlands and wetlands. The gently rolling terrain was carefully developed to include scenic walkout-level and private cul-de-sac sites. In addition, the project was designed to complement the Northville area’s Victorian charm and includes winding sidewalks and old-fashioned street lamps. This was one of the first communities in the area of this scale that featured high-end homes in the million-dollar price range, and due to its high demand and success, several other communities followed.

Terra

Recognized for its clean vertical and horizontal lines, Prairie-style design was made famous by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This style, popularized in the 1900s, emphasized nature, craftsmanship, and simplicity. According to the Chicago Architecture Center, Prairie-style architecture is “rooted in nature, with a sense of place, but also incorporated modern elements, like flat planes and stylized ornamentation.”
